NBR (Nitrile) O-Ring Seal combine the dimensional form of ISO / DIN with the material properties of grade acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, typically 70 Shore A: good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering, non-magnetic, service range approx. -30 °C to +100 °C. This page summarizes the grade data, its corrosion behavior in service, the comparable grades, and the sizes supplied.
Why Choose NBR (Nitrile) for O-Ring Seal — ISO / DIN (Series 159)
The default elastomer for oil and hydraulic sealing. For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 159), this matters when good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering is the primary requirement.
Mechanical & Physical Properties
| Grade designation | acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, typically 70 Shore A |
|---|---|
| Magnetic response | Non-magnetic |
| Service temperature | approx. -30 °C to +100 °C |
| Corrosion characteristic | Good resistance to mineral oil, grease and hydraulic fluid; poor in ozone and weathering |
Galvanic & Galling Considerations
Galvanic and galling behavior do not apply to o-ring seal — iso / din (series 159) in NBR (Nitrile) — the relevant compatibility questions are chemical: confirm the elastomer against the fluid, the temperature and any cleaning agents in service, and check the gland or groove dimensions give the intended compression on the section.
Comparable Grades
For o-ring seal — iso / din (series 159), consider FKM where temperature or chemical exposure is higher, or EPDM where the medium is water, steam or brake fluid rather than oil. Elastomer selection is decided by the medium, the temperature range and whether the seal is static or dynamic — not by strength.
